What games have the best Summoner-type classes? Whether it be RPG or whatever.
I like summons and minions. The more useful the better. Enjoyed drone boats in eve online, my golem in d2, spellcasting pets in torchlight 2 and junk loot eating ones in dungeon siege 2.
What game does this playstyle justice in your opinions?
I really enjoyed ESO's summoner. The actual summoner subclass is kind of weak but another subclass is high damage AOE and my two favorite classes are summoner and AOE so being able to mix them however I wanted was pretty great. Equip a healing staff and now you can summon, deal high AOE damage, and heal your pets twice as effectively as the stock summoner heal.

I would play it now its not a sub, but kinda wanted a single player game.

As summoner you can basically play ESO's PvE singleplayer. I'm not well versed in classic singleplayer summoner though

Chen is more of a pure pet character. Ench usually only has only one or at most two creeps with her and relies more on her abilities to be useful while the point of Chen is that he goes around with his crew of Jungle creeps and catapults and fucks people and towers up with them.

You buy once and you can play the game. It's not p2w but it's definitely p2not-be-majorly-inconvenienced-while-crafting.

This. Great for being a big boss summoner.
Two Worlds 2. A VERY mediocre game but the spellcasting system allows you to combine summon with most other shit to summon a WIDE variety of crap and you can have a LOT of them at any given time.
Great fun. A shame the game flopped so hard, it's one of my guilty pleasures.

The best spellmaking mechanic ever stuck in a bad game. It's a pity. I made a spell that made anvils rain from the sky and then summoned a tornado around the player creating an anvilnado. It usually hurt me more than the enemies but damn if it wasn't fun.
